2% of the computer chips manufactured by a company are defective. If 8 samples are picked at random,find the probability that 2 of them are defective. @agent0smith just to double check my answer..

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Looks like binomial probability, P(X=2).

MARC (marc_d):

i got 0.009921 as my answer..

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Show your work. It's binomial with n=8 x=2 p=0.02 q=1-p=0.98

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Seems reasonable, though, your value.

MARC (marc_d):

yep,i don't hv the answer from book..so,i decided to double-check my answer..\[p(x=2)=8c_2(0.02)^2(o.98)^6\]

MARC (marc_d):

Thank you @agent0smith

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

That looks right.
